And gang violence. I think it's safe to say, gun crimes among gangs would just be replaced with something else if guns were taken out of the picture. (Which...removing guns is not possible nor realistic, so let's be realistic about the solutions..)
- Kurimo 10y agoYeah, right. Because there's nothing more destructive about a semi-automatic pistol than a knife. Hmm...
- Cshelton 10y agoPhysical items are not destructive, people are. That's where you have it all wrong. Gang members will kill other gang members by any means, they don't need guns. Guns, knives, bombs, they don't kill people, people kill people.
- Kurimo 10y agoThat is a nonsense argument. By that logic we should let arms dealers sell individuals tanks, missiles, nuclear weapons. Why not? The objects themselves aren't destructive afterall! The reason is because their POTENTIAL is FAR more destructive and you cannot leave their use up to the whims of an individual with no oversight. That is why we don't! We draw the line somewhere already. So to pretend we don't and that it's all fair game and it's all peoples' fault so it doesn't matter anyway... that's just naive.
